Project Glass

CanwllCorfe · 10-05-2012, 01:24 PM

I remember seeing pictures with this kind of technology, thinking how weird it'd be if it ever existed. Well, now it might in the next few years. I'm not so sure I'd be ready for something so... intense. I think for now I'd just prefer using a phone.

I'm guessing that technology would be part of glasses that you wear or something? Anyways, I think that would be really distracting to me. I definitely prefer my phone and OMG an old-fashioned spiral bound agenda (!).

That video reminds me of this, though:

Basically, anything made of glass could potentially become a computer and have holographic technology.

I agree. And yes, they'd look like this. Or rather, they look like this now.

That's great and all, but can you watch porn with this? Can I sit on a subway watching Double Anal Gangbang 12 without anyone else be any the wiser?

You'll just have to hide your boner. No basketball shorts.

It's funny you should bring up using this while riding public transportation because I can foresee a lot of people buying these, but being afraid to use themoutin public. Hell, I still feel a little self-conscience about using my iPad on the bus, even if I'm in a major metropolitan city where there's a wider demographic who uses public transport.

Yeah, I hate using my iPad or laptop out on the bus or even in open, public spaces, because I'm paranoid and I think that people are scrutinizing what I'm doing or watching. Even if it's just solitaire or some **** like that.

Holy crap, can this guy do ANYTHING himself?? "Walking route?" "Where are the books"? Jesus! Of course, you KNOW without ANY QUESTION that it would very quickly be ads you'd be getting in front of you: oh sorry, products that have been selectively tailored to your purchasing profile! **** me, I would HATE that!

Hey, if one of those told him on his "planned walking route" to turn right, but that led into a river, don't you just bet he would obey?

"Some day"? I hope I'm cold in the ground by then, or at least locked away from society where I can do no further harm, just listening to my ipod and talking inanely about "back in MY day" to anyone who will listen.

Hey, one time the GPS I have in my car led me to a parking lot behind an abandoned warehouse, when I simply asked for directions to someone's house in an area that I wasn't familiar with.

There weren't people suspiciously loading crates onto a truck there, were there?

I think everyone should have a Homer-based SatNav: "Turn right here. No, RIGHT, idiot! Not YOUR right! MY right! D'oh! Look, just do whatever you want man, ok? I didn't sign up for this! Man, I wish I was at home with a big bag of potato chips. Mmmm! Potato ch---" SCREEEECH!! CRASH!
